Coastal sediments are the main deposition center for allochthonous and autochthonous organic carbon (OC). The discharge of terrestrial biomass, anthropogenic activities, oceanic primary productivity, and natural events contribute to this carbon pool. The OC buried in sediments undergoes alteration through physical, biological and chemical processes, becom ...

Vapour-phase fumigation with HCl is routinely used to remove inorganic carbon in preparation for the measurement of the concentration and d13C value of organic carbon in a sample using elemental analysis coupled to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer. Acidification of the sample to be analyzed can lead to the loss of low molecular weight conjugate bases as ...

Routine mycotoxin biomonitoring methods do not include many mycotoxin phase I and phase II metabolites, which may significantly underestimate mycotoxin exposure especially for heavily metabolized mycotoxins. Additional research efforts are also needed to measure metabolites in vivo after exposure and to establish which mycotoxin metabolites should be prio ...
